    Product Details

    1. Composition of MS Pipes and Tubes

    Base Material: Low-carbon steel (usually contains 0.16%-0.29% carbon).
    Additional Elements: May include traces of manganese, silicon, and other elements for enhanced properties.
    Surface Finishing: May have a black finish (raw) or be galvanized for corrosion resistance.

    2. Characteristics

    Durability: Resistant to mechanical stress and wear.
    Work Ability: Easily bendable, weldable, and machinable.
    Light Weight: Easier to handle compared to high-carbon steel pipes.
    Corrosion Resistance: Can be improved through galvanization or coatings.
    Economical: Cost-effective for general-purpose applications.

    3. Types of MS Pipes and Tubes

    Based on Shape

    Round: Most common, used for fluid transport and structural purposes.
    Square: Ideal for architectural applications and framework.
    Rectangular: Preferred for fabrication and heavy structures.

    Based on Manufacturing Process

    ERW (Electric Resistance Welded): Formed by welding steel strips; cost-effective.
    Seamless: Manufactured without welding; stronger and ideal for high-pressure applications.
    Galvanized MS Pipes: Coated with zinc for enhanced corrosion resistance.

    4. Common Sizes and Specifications

    Outer Diameter (OD): Varies from 15mm to 600mm or more.
    Thickness: 0.5mm to 12mm (or higher for custom requirements).
    Length: Standard lengths are 6 meters, but custom sizes are also available.
    Standards: IS 1239, IS 3589, ASTM A53, BS 7, etc., depending on the application.
